Hello all! Thank you in advance for any responses!
I've been building with real bricks for years but after repeated requests for instructions I've finally had a go at creating some. My first model is almost built digitally, but I am going insane in the last step of adding curved hoses. I'm aware that Studio struggles in this regard, so have downloaded LDCad, but try as I might to follow the online guides, it just isn't working for me! I've attached a couple of images: I create the part, make sure it's rubber type, make sure it's nested in the upper right corner (don't know what that means!). I can move the end, but can't seem use the insert key to add new nodes. When I do this it just goes see-through as in the photos (before I click it says "Invisible part selected, click anywhere to add it"). Any help? I'm guessing it's going to be tricky to export back into studio as well, but we will get there when we get there!
I do note that there are two types of hose 14301 - one seems infinitely extendable, and has a spanner (this is the one I'm using), the other is fixed length but refuses to flex.
Hi, is it possible to request part [color=#0a121d]98150pb01. I checked everywhere and there isn't any existing model. For a reference here's a photo of requested part:[/color]
but studio renders them like this [sorry image updated with version that is rendered with the updated version of the piece, so reference removed]
hpoort at studio forum - explained Wrote:It looks as though the outer cylinder of the connector is too small (18 LDU in stead of the 19 LDU of the round brick).
Note that neither of these numbers represent the exact size of the parts, as that would be 20 LDU minus tolerances. The tolerances used in LDraw are not the exact tolerances used by LEGO in producing these parts, but are integer approximation best suited for digital building.
Can this be fixed?
Let me know if you need more photo's, renders or files.
